A sensational brace from Russian maestro Aleksandr Golovin propelled Monaco to the top of Ligue 1 as they orchestrated a comeback to defeat Metz 2-1. 

Despite Senegalese player Lamine Camara's extraordinary goal from beyond the center circle, measuring 57 meters, giving Metz an initial lead, Monaco, under the stewardship of Adi Hutter, defended their home ground and reclaimed the league's leadership. Monaco now leads by one point over second-placed Nice and three points over third-placed Paris Saint-Germain. The defeat marks Metz's fourth consecutive loss, keeping them in the penultimate position in the league standings.
